Heroes All
Copyright 2007 CJ Leighton - Magic Soup Publishing

It's a cold, cold night - Scene in green night vision sights
Crystal clear in harsh starlight before the dawn
The troops all wait - With nerves tight the tension's great
U.S. soldiers all first rate - Heroes all
U.S. soldiers all first rate - Heroes all

With a flash, a rifle shot - The battles joined - The zone is hot
The flares descend - On targets sought - While the fire falls

The battle carries on - Buildings burn, bodies fallen
Spirits drained, exhaustion strong - Heroes all
Soldiers of all types - Hearts of stars and stripes
Armed for freedom's fight - Heroes all
Armed for freedom's fight - Heroes all

A view from a height - Shows the toll of the night
A standard flies for all that's right
And for freedom's call

Still they go on - The journey tough, the battles long
Against all odds - Hopes never gone
For us they go on

At dawn's early light - Soldiers raise the stars and stripes
And prepare for the next fight - Heroes all
They are far from home - Let them know they're not alone
They're the proud and the strong - Heroes all
They're our proud and our strong - Heroes all
